Somatic Therapy

Somatic experiences encompass a range of therapeutic approaches that focus on the body's sensations, movements, and felt experiences to promote healing, resilience, and self-awareness. Rooted in the understanding that trauma and emotional distress are not solely confined to the mind but are also held within the body, somatic therapy emphasizes the importance of integrating physical sensations and bodily awareness into the therapeutic process.

Benefits of Somatic Therapy

Embodied Awareness: Somatic therapy will invite you to cultivate a deeper awareness of your bodily sensations, movements, and postures. By paying attention to the sensations in the body, you can gain insight into your emotional states, triggers, and areas of tension or discomfort.

Safety and Regulation: Central to somatic experiences is creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your internal sensations without feeling overwhelmed. Our trained therapists will help you develop tools for self-regulation, grounding, and coping with intense emotions or bodily sensations.

Trauma-Informed Approach: Somatic therapy acknowledges the pervasive impact of trauma on the body and mind. You will collaboratively work with our trained therapists to gently explore, and process traumatic memories or experiences stored within the body, promoting healing and integration.

Resourcing and Strengths: In addition to addressing trauma and distress, somatic therapy emphasizes building resilience, self-compassion, and resources for coping with life's challenges. You will be encouraged to tap into your innate strengths and resources to support your unique healing journey.

Mind-Body Integration: Somatic experiences aim to bridge the gap between the body and mind, recognizing that emotional well-being is intricately linked to physical health and vitality. Through somatic interventions such as breathwork, movement, and body awareness practices, you can cultivate greater integration and harmony within yourself.
